Russian term

совмещение

Russian to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping rail freight cars
Совместимость вагонов должна быть обеспечена:
- сцепляемостью вагонов при установленной конфигурации полотна пути в плане (ГОСТ 3475);
- совмещением (сцепляемостью) автосцепных устройств (ГОСТ 21447);
- совмещением (соединяемостью) воздушной магистрали (ГОСТ 2593);

Затрудняюсь подобрать подходящий термин в данном контекста - please advise!
Сцепляемость автосцепок - coupling ability, соединяемость воздушной магистрали - connectivity of air brake pipes.

To Andrew You could use "interoperability" for the first term совместимость. It's an awkward word, but it will save repeating "compatibility". Alternatively, you could omit совмещение altogether, since more precise synonyms are given (сцепляемость and соединяемость).
Igor Blinov Feb 4, 2013:
не ищите черную кошку в темной комнате, compatibility - это и есть искомое и достаточное слово
Yulia Savelieva Feb 4, 2013:
Совместимость вагонов - carriage compatibility
сцепляемость вагонов - coupling ability of the carriages
совмещение (сцепляемость) автосцепных устройств - coupling ability (or alignment)...
совмещение (соединяемость ) воздушной магистрали - connectivity (or alignment)...
Andrew Vdovin (asker) Feb 4, 2013:
The source text has two terms - "совместимость" and "совмещение", both can be translated as "compatibility", that's why I wanted a different term for the second one. Or do you offer to simply omit it?
Yulia Savelieva Feb 4, 2013:
I don't see where it is used twice.

Carriage compatibility shall be provided by:

Coupling ability of the carriages...
Andrew Vdovin (asker) Feb 4, 2013:
As for "compatibility", this term is used in the very first sentence ("совместимость"), so I can't use it twice, since "compatibility shall be provided by compatibility" does look kind of weird.
